Chapter 38: All Kinds of Rewards

Li Huailin had no idea what happened. He immediately checked his character status and realized that he was now Level 16. He had indeed leveled up! He checked his inventory and found 2 Gold Coins and dozens of Silver Coins, he also received the money.

“This is strange…” Li Huailin wondered to himself. Was it because the rewards given by the global announcement didn’t apply to the erroneous computer program?

Li Huailin did some calculations. Before entering the dungeon, he was already very close to the next level. The first boss in the dungeon didn’t give him any experience, but the second boss deducted 1,550 Experience Points. It seemed that the system added all the experience points together. The final evaluation took away 3,000 Experience from him and then the global announcement gave him 10,000 Experience Points. In the end, 5,450 Experience Points were left, it was enough for him to level up.

Li Huailin was a little excited, he finally found a second way to level up! Although… this way seemed to be a little bit more difficult. After all, the chances of getting experience points from a global announcement was rare. Li Huailin wondered if there was another way to get a global announcement.

“Wow, I have a lot of friend requests!”

While Li Huailin was being absent-minded, Red Face Drinks Water suddenly exclaimed this.

“Me too!” Red Dust Misty Rain saw lots of friend requests on her list as well.

“Because the system just announced our names. I’m sure a lot of people want to befriend us.”

Red moon also received lots of friend requests.

“I’ll deal with these later. For now, let’s see what equipment we have here,” Red Moon said.

“Ah, yes! I almost forgot about it,” Red Face Drinks Water excitedly exclaimed.

Even though the Shadow of Serpent God Deckimas disappeared, a treasure chest was left in place where it died. They could also search the dried up body of Serpent Manipulator Durjash, great rewards were waiting for them.

“It’s said that there should be a special reward for the first clearance of dungeons in any mode. I think there should be good stuff in there,” Red Moon smiled and informed them. “Who wants to go and search the body?”

“Me! Me!”

It seemed that Red Face Drinks Water couldn’t wait any longer.

“Go ahead.” Red Moon nodded. Luck was the only thing one could depend on when opening treasure chests. This was true for everyone.

“Give me a godly weapon for priests!” Red Face Drinks Water said as she opened the treasure chest.

With a “shua,” a gold light flashed and surprised everyone. A piece of Gold-level equipment popped out. (From the worst to the best quality, the order is: White Common, Green Bronze, Blue Silver, Golden Gold, Purple Epic, Orange Legend.)

Deckimas’ Staff (Gold): Two-handed, Attack 50-70, Intellect +15, Spirit +20, Magic Attack +47, Healing Effect +114. Skill: Summon two vipers to fight for you. Required Level: 20. Classes: Mage, Priest, Druid, Warlock.

“It really is for priests! It’s a Gold-level too!” Even Red Moon was a bit excited.

“Mine! Mine! This is mine!” Red Face Drinks Water was grinning from ear to ear .

“Maybe this is the first piece of gold equipment in the entire server.” Red Dust Misty Rain’s eyes lit up. “It should be worth a lot of money…”

“No, it’s mine! My brother-in-law helped me get it!” Once Red Face Drinks Water heard this, she immediately rejected Misty Rain’s plan.

“Well, since the guild isn’t short of money for the time being. Let’s give it to Little Water for now.” Red Moon smiled as she gave the staff to Red Face Drinks Water.

Seeing that Red Face Drinks Water hadn’t reached Level 20 yet, the staff couldn’t be equipped. When she received the staff, it turned out that she couldn’t hold it with one hand, she needed both hands just to hold it.

“Well, it’s kind of ugly…” Red Face Drinks Water’s mood was ruined.

“Then we can just sell it.” Red Dust Misty Rain teased her.

“No way! It’s mine!” Red Face Drinks Water immediately protected the staff with her arms, it looked as if she was protecting a little chick.

“Stop teasing her, it’s yours.” Red Moon smiled. She turned to check the second item, it turned out to be a skill book.

Savage Strike (Skill Book) : Launches an immediate attack, Attack +95, and causes the target to be stunned for 1.5 seconds. After using the skill, the caster’s current health points are reduced by 20%. Instant, consumes 15 Mana Points, 12 seconds cooldown. Minimum usage, 50 Health Points left. Required Level: 20, Class: Warrior.

“It’s a rare skill book.” Red Moon nodded and said, “This is for damage-type warriors, not for defensive warriors. Losing 20% of my health points is unacceptable for me. Plus, it’s going to place additional pressure on the priest. You take it, Huailin.”

“It sounds good. I’ll take it.”

Li Huailin directly accepted it. The effects brought by the skill, 1.5 seconds of stun, was incredibly useful. However, the loss of 20% health points wasn’t a buff, Li Huailin couldn’t reverse the effect. Because finding ways to die faster was exactly his target, this skill was quite suitable for him.

Due to the level requirement, Li Huailin couldn’t learn it immediately. He kept the skill book and reminded himself that he should put it in the bank later, just in case he might lose it when he dies.

Both the staff and the book were all they could find in the treasure chest dropped by the Shadow of Serpent God Deckimas. Red Face Drinks Water then started to search the shrivelled up corpse of Serpent Manipulator Durjash.

“Please be another godly weapon for priests!” She exclaimed.

“Stop! We need equipment for a tank!” Red Dust Misty Rain couldn’t help but tell her.

“Fine! A godly weapon for tanks then!” Red Face Drinks Water pulled back her hand and made a new wish. Then, she reached out her hand to touch the body one more time.

Durjash’s Robe (Silver): Cloth Armor, Physical Defense 10-10, Magical Defense 25-35, Constitution +5, Intelligence +10, Spirit +12. Required Level: 20.

Viper Trap (Skill Book): Places a trap on the ground. When an enemy steps on it, 5-7 junior vipers are summoned to attack. Required Level: 20, Class: Hunter.

The equipment that came out from Serpent Manipulator Durjash’s corpse wasn’t as good, but it still dropped a piece of Level 20 Blue equipment and a skill book. No one could find anything like these outside of the dungeon.

“A cloth armor, a skill book for hunters.” Red Moon checked the items before continuing, “Without a doubt, the skill book goes to Red Pennant. As for the Blue-level cloth armor, since Little Water has the weapon, I’ll give it to Little Misty.”

“No problem.” Red Face Drinks Water nodded.

“We gained quite a bit today.” Red Dust Misty Rain took the cloth armor and found that the style was okay. She didn’t look bad wearing it.

Red Pennant also accepted the skill book. Although she didn’t speak, there was a bit of a smile on her face. She basically remained silent from the very beginning ever since Li Huailin met her. The only word he heard her say was “right”, it almost caused Li Huailin to forget her.

“We’re all done! Let’s get out!” Red Moon waved her hand and informed them.

“Sister Moon, there’s nothing for you,” Red Face Drinks Water suddenly noticed something. “Do you want brother-in-law to run the dungeon one more time?”

“Who said that? Did you forget about the treasure chest earlier?” Red Moon smiled and reminded her.

“Oh, right! what did the treasure chest drop?”

Since he was so focused on fighting the boss earlier, Li Huailin almost forgot about the treasure chest.

“A Level 15 Blue shield. It’s already on my back. Do you see it?” Red Moon showed Li Huailin the shield before continuing, “And I also got a recipe. We’re very lucky that it’s an alchemy recipe.”

Red Moon handed it to Li Huailin.

Recipe — Primary Potion of Flame Protection: Increases 10 Fire Resistance, absorbs 225 Fire Damage, continues for 10 minutes. Acquisition: Novice-level alchemy.

“It happens to be a recipe for novice alchemists. After Little Misty learns it, let’s see what materials she needs. If they’re easy to get, we can use this recipe to level up her alchemy,” Red Moon said.

“Both of us get what we want.” Li Huailin also felt very encouraged by this.

While the whole party was celebrating, they didn’t realize how much of a storm they caused outside the dungeon right now.
